$450 Touchscreen Ultrabook and new Canon Rebel T5i price drop

For the price, the 14-inch Acer Aspire M5 Touchscreen Ultrabook is a steal. The seller “alterac” on eBay Deals dropped a refurbished machine down to $450. That beats the next best refurb price online by $30 and is about $250 cheaper than buying in new condition (~$700). The Core i5 processor and 6GB RAM will give midrange performance at a price you’d expect to see on a much more basic non-touch laptop.

The Canon EOS Rebel line of DSLRs is a well-established jumping off point for budding photographers ready to leave point-and-shoot cameras behind in favor of more compositional control and better shot performance. The recently released Canon Rebel T5i with 18-55mm lens continues the tradition of affordable, functional entry-level DSLRs, and today it’s at the lowest price we’ve seen thus far by $55 at Rakuten. Everywhere else is selling the kit for the full $899 list price.

Let’s face it, you can only sing “Old McDonald” so many times on a family road trip. If you’re looking for a way to keep kids entertained on an upcoming adventure, today Amazon has 20% off a Sylvania 9-Inch portable DVD player or 20% off a 7-inch dual screen player. The 9-inch player comes with car straps, AC power adapter, vehicle power adapter, carrying bag, and earphones.

LAPTOP DEALS

Besides the 14-inch Touchscreen laptop above, there are three additional laptops worth checking out today. For a big screen gaming experience, Alienware has you covered. This week the 17.3-inch M17x with GeForce GTX 660M graphics card dropped to $1,469 – a new low by $30, and $280 off the usual $1,749 price. Today Best Buy dropped a 15.6-inch HP g6 laptop with AMD A6 processor from $400 to $320, also throwing in a sleeve case, flash drive, and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 for free. That security software normally runs $20 by itself, the laptop sleeve about $15, and the flash drive about $10… so not a bad offer. Lastly, the smaller but still gaming-worthy 14-inch Alienware M14x base configuration dropped from $999 to $869 at Dell Home.

GAMING DEALS

Today’s gaming section features discount NHL for the consoles and a few cheap PC games. Best Buy’s Deal of the Day is NHL 13 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 for only $40 – a full $20 off the $60 list price, matching the lowest price ever. If you’re a fan of Grand Theft Auto, you may want to check out Sleeping Dogs. Amazon launched a new Sleeping Dogs bundle which includes the base game and 10 DLC packs for only $13. Separately the game and DLCs cost $31 at their best online prices. Amazon also has The Testament of Sherlock Holmes for $9.99 and Tomb Raider Underworld for only $2.49 – both their lowest ever prices.

TABLET DEALS

Need something to check email, surf the web, and generally stay in touch on the go? We found three worthwhile tablet deals today. In the larger category, both the ASUS VivoTab and Google Nexus 10 are around $400. Or if you’re in the market for something a little smaller to make walking and tapping a possibility, Amazon’s popular 7-inch Kindle Fire is $140 in New condition.

ALL THE OTHER GOOD DEALS

Today there’s a wide selection of deals that didn’t warrant their own section but were worthy of mention. If you’re looking to get a speed boost at bootup or application launch or want to reduce your laptop’s power consumption, the efficient and speedy 180GB Intel 335 Series Jay Crest SSD matches the lowest price we’ve seen thus far. A 27-inch ViewSonic monitor is under $200, and a refurbished 60-inch Sharp AQUOS LED TV is under $800 – both making lowest ever prices. For something a little smaller and cheaper than the Sharp, there’s also a 19-inch Insignia (Best Buy) TV with built-in DVD player for only $130. A well-reviewed Samsung point-and-shoot digital camera is $80, good-sounding Yamaha earbuds are $25, and if you still have an older 30-pin iDevice, you can get 6 USB cables for it for only $5.
